Gluten Free, Low Carb - Lavender Mint Cream Scones

We are so excited to join some Tea Parties, this week! If you are visiting from a party below, Welcome!!Afternoon Tea has always brought us great delight.

Sophia and I have been sharing in this wonderful tradition for years. When life gets hectic, there is nothing quite like slowing down and sipping a warm velvety tea from a pretty cup while snacking on dainty delights. So, so good for the soul. This week I made some wonderful scones I would like to share. I incorporated two of my favorite flavor accents this time of year, lavender and mint! This was also the first time I made scones that were gluten free & lower carb. I was worried about texture and taste but I was pleasantly surprised! They baked up and tasted just like regular scones.

Oh Trish, what a lovely tradition for you and Sophia, to have tea in the afternoon. There's just something about a cup tea. It's like a warm hug! Your scones look wonderful and perfect with your pretty, new teacup. You and Spohia share such a sweet bond, that I so admire. Happy weekend to you! Thanks for your visit to my blog. xo

Hi Trish,What a darling teacup from your mom! I love it too, especially the shape! Your scones look so pretty with bits of lavender in them. I bet they were wonderful with tea. I'm so glad you could join me for tea this week. Happy Memorial Day and have a beautiful week.
